Henson nicely captures Starks' determination but also her doubts and personal demons.

Henson's performance goes a long way toward selling the uniqueness and importance of Starks and her story--which Bagley almost appears determined to flatten out in the most cookie-cutter-familiar way possible.

Rated: 2.5/4

A well-deserved, if syrupy sweet, overdue tribute to an African-American role model and trailblazer.
